How thick is the back of the blade?

If it was not for the scabbard, it looks Thai/sea, to me especially the guard?

The knife does have the shape of a Thai enep or Hmong (Montaniard) knife. the touristy scabbard probably for Western eyes. May even have been replaced by or for a GI during the Vietnam war.
Mine: The villagers prefer these without the thick aluminium guard. Last edited by kronckew; 30th December 2022 at 12:22 PM. |

I have attached pictures from a similar one I've sold not long ago. 40 cm long with a blade from 26 cm, 7 mm thick at the spine direct after the handle and a weight from 460 gram. Very sharp. When this knife wasn't made for use I don't know.  Regards, Detlef |
